This game, on paper per the dev system descriptions, has the closest thing to what I've imagined a thief/assassin/spy could be in an MMO.

Like I've never heard another dev even mention half of these things before. Disguises, poisons, cat burglary, etc.

Hopefully it's fun, god drat.

Like I've never heard another dev even mention half of these things before. Disguises, poisons, cat burglary, etc. Because they had those ideas up on a whiteboard and quickly relegated them to the "That's loving retarded" pile.

Hopefully it's fun, god drat. It will never be done.

You had a couple of typos. I fixed them for you.

Star Citizen also has all of these things as well doesn't it? That should be your first clue!

Buddy of mine has gone in for one of the 2.5k packages. I think he's nuts but I think we could have a fun time in the game if we all join the 3 month Exposition to get a head start and then wreck havoc at launch.

This is not a long term game, but I think it's something the Goons can influence and have some fun in for a few months before the inevitable destruction.

WHAT THAT SMELL LIKE?!


I actually trust these guys to produce a product because they look like complete loving goons:


Subject A



I mean look you can be fat if you want, but does he have absolutely ZERO self awareness? Like, put on a button up or something to cover up your man-tits in your $1M kickstarter pledge-drive video. I wonder how he maintains that dope beard.


Subject B



Yes, I play the acoustic bass in the office, my cubemates love it. As I say to my pillow while I'm crying into it at night, "Eat. Sleep. Code." Same hairdo as the first guy, but a bit more of a scruffy "meth user" look. Also, if you want a map for the biggest in game city, it's right there on the monitor.


Subjects C and D



I guess these guys don't look that abnormal (aside from the rainbow unicorn shirt). I just thought this was the most emotionless emo stabbing I had ever seen (and I've seen a few). Once I heard the words "much like in real life" slip from his dumb foam-sword holding brain I knew this was the game for me.

I quite like it tbh, assuming you actually value your life, you're gonna be paying $2.50 on average a month.

You treating yourself as disposable? Shortened lifespan.
Get imprisoned? You're screwing yourself on your current/next life due to prison skill loss on your current character leading to less of a skill gain buff on your soul.
Keeps all parts of the economy alive. Keeps low-tier/mid-game content alive too (this kills every MMO ever).
Provides the devs with a decent stream of revenue without nickel and diming people on cash shop nonsense. Doesn't even give them the chance to gently caress up the business model.

Also, I have a feeling it's gonna lead to a sense of empathy knowing what it's like to start over since they did it recently too, even if they've been playing for five years.

idk guys those things are pretty weird

a few days ago a friend of mine committed social suicide in front of everyone. We were chilling as happens and he suddenly gets up and starts saying horrible stuff to one of us but like, real hateful stuff, as if he was looking for a fight. He must have some real batshit issues as he purposely lost one of his best friends within 5 minutes, but also managed to make everyone else think low of him and resent him. I'm worried he may be suicidal, who does poo poo like that

this is the thread for stuff like this
